I think this team has this season remaining before it gets broken up, I don't think Harry Kane will stay with another trophyless season, We already know Jan, Toby and Eriksen contracts are winding down.

IF poch goes, there is no point bringing in a young manager with a vision like an Eddie Howe, we need an old head to try and get us a trophy before our "golden generation" are broken up.

That's why I'd take Mourinho as a short term solution to try and win a trophy, I'd take the negative football for a season or two.
I'd also look at Rafa Benitez for the same reason.

Yup Id happily take negative football for a season or two if it means we actually fucking win something sometime. And Mourinho is one of those managers who can win us a cup or two.

Fuck Mourinho and his dire style of football. No trophy is worth watching the shit he serves up.

History will show trophies and honours, not the shit that was served up. But he cannot work without money and he isn't getting any spending money with us. Nor do I actually want him. Anyone calling for poch's head please support another club. He's never had levy in his corner and even the money spent this season wasn't in the areas we lost players in nor in areas where we will have players leaving on a free. Agree he has made mistakes but so does every manager. They just have the game changers to cover it up. We don't.

I often wonder about people's preoccupation with the proverbial history books.

Sure a history to be proud of is nice (I'm proud of ours AND notably the manner in which we achieved it), but isn't the ultimate aim of any source of ENTERTAINMENT for it to be enjoyable?

Depends if, as a fan, you're worried more about your enjoyment of the composite moments and the game itself opposed to bragging rights for another generation to revel in.

Personally speaking; fuck spending each season grinding one's teeth in anticipation of a (possible) moment of relief at the end of the season before hitting the re-set and starting it all over again the following August.

But he cannot work without money and he isn't getting any spending money with us. Nor do I actually want him. Anyone calling for poch's head please support another club. He's never had levy in his corner and even the money spent this season wasn't in the areas we lost players in nor in areas where we will have players leaving on a free.

That's nonsense!

Actual Dembele replacement: Ndombele.
Anticipated Rose replacement: Sessengon.
Anticipated Eriksen replacement: Lo Celso

Alderwiereld replacement(s) bought 2 years ago when it originally looked like he was off: Sanchez/Foyth.

Nothing about this is enjoyable tbh. I was really hoping we would win the CL final so I could check out of modern football. I'm sure every junky says something similar at some point.

Oh well. We should be able to beat Colchester theoretically, so in that case...

Pochettino out, Mourinho in and I think Spurs would most likely end up going into the footballing equivalent of a black hole.
He’s a dinosaur 🦕

I don't give a fuck about what history says. History is for historians, Spurs is for those that love entertaining football.

The historical statistic that you'd rather have is just something for you to compare us with fans of other clubs, whereas I don't care about what fans of other clubs have or haven't won in comparison, I just love watching Spurs play great football.

Rodgers now clear favourite to become next Spurs manager

The Northern Irishman led his side to victory over Tottenham on Saturday and now he has soared in the betting

It's how lame football reporting works...
Team a) beats Team b)... manager of team a) is linked with managers position of team hes just beaten...

It was the same when Poch was linked with Real Madrid and Utd merely HOURS after we beat them both last season!

John McGreal will no doubt be the next name in the frame if Colchester beat us tonight as well!!
